Judah Wears Blue 4 Ben

Hey everyone, we know it’s been a long time since we posted on our blog. Part of the problem was that we were having some issues with our website. All of that has been cleared up and we’re happy to be back.

I’m just going to give a very brief update on Judah because we really want this post to focus on someone else. Judah has been doing incredibly well! A few weeks ago we got the green light from his pulmonologist to begin aggressively taking steps back from the ventilator. Right now, he is only using the ventilator for 4 hours, every other night. Which means, he’s off the vent completely for 44 consecutive hours at a time. Next week we will have another appointment and at that point most likely have the vent taken away forever! Our hope is still that he will be able to have the trach taken out sometime in April.

The main thing we want to talk to you about today is a little boy named Ben. This story has been circulating Facebook and has found it’s way to so many different circles. It’s really amazing. I even saw a story about him on the news this morning. Ben is an adorable 4 year old, has an identical twin brother named Jack, and a 2 year old sister named Megan. Ben has also been diagnosed with a very aggressive form of brain cancer, Stage IV Glioblastoma. Just in the last 6 weeks or so, he has undergone brain surgery, countless tests, chemotherapy and radiation treatment. All of that has been unsuccessful in slowing the growth of his brain tumor. In fact, it has tripled in size in just a week. The doctors have said that they have never seen anything like this. At this point there is nothing more the doctors can do to help. Mostly likely, Ben only has weeks left. We encourage you to read the whole story on a blog that Ben’s mom Mindy has started here: Blue4Ben.com.

First, we ask you to pray for a miracle for Ben. It is the only chance he has left. So many of you have spent time praying for us and for Judah and we ask you to now turn those prayers towards Ben and his family. We believe our God is able to do miracles. Please stand with the Sauer family during this incredibly difficult time.

Second, we want to let you know about a benefit event for Ben this Sunday March 9th at 500 CrossPoint Pkwy, Getzville, NY 14068, 4pm-8pm. You can see all of the details at Blue4Ben.com. Many of you gave to us financially while we were in the hospital with Judah. Not having to worry about money was such a blessing to us. It allowed us to focus on Judah and on each other. We would love to see the same happen for the Sauers.

Third, please share Ben’s story and information about the benefit. You can share our blog but it would be better to share it from Ben’s blog.

Thank you for you prayer and support for us! Please visit Ben’s website here: Blue4Ben.com
